Recovery Time
Earlier this week while working the plate, I was plunked in the head while on the line counting pitches between innings. I never saw the damned ball coming from left field before it hit me. One minute I was standing there waiting for the battery to take it down, and the next I was seeing stars. I took a few minutes to try and shake it off, but when I got back to calling pitches I struggled terribly. This was early in the game, and I probably should have switched with my partner for the remainder of the game, but my ego got the best of me and I battled through it. I knew I was stinking up the place, but nothing I did seemed to help me recover from the blow. Is there a method that you've used to help you recover from something like this?

Getting plunked in the noggin is no laughing matter. I haven't been hit in the head lately, but I figure depending on the severity of the hit, it could take upwards of a few days. You could have suffered a minor concussion.
My question, how did you not see the ball?

Tim,
You don't mention any lingering headaches or dizziness so I'll assume there are none. If there were I know you'd be smart enough (hint) to see a doctor. Sometimes we just have to let go of our ego and do the smart thing. |

My stepdad was known as Whitey Kozy in and around New Britain, CT - Golden Gloves (60's). While he was never KO'd, he now suffers irrepairable memory loss from chronic TBI due to the punches he received during his short boxing career. The doctor compared them to "small strokes". Get it checked out.
